Call for papers: Peace, Power-Sharing and Citizen Inclusion: Lessons for and from Bosnia and Herzegovina

09. - 10. 10. 2025. @ FPN UNSA

When international leaders oversaw the signing of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina – otherwise known as the Dayton Agreement – in December 1995, there were high hopes for an end of violence and a new era of peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina and across the Western Balkans.

Thirty years later, the results are mixed. Combining academic and policy insights, we are interested in evaluating what has worked, what has not, what should be reformed and what can be reformed after 30 years.

Situating the academic-policy lessons from 30 years of Dayton in a comparative perspective, we invite 300-word abstracts from academics and practitioners at all career stages. The workshop will aim to produce a policy document that collates lessons from and for Bosnia and Herzegovina after thirty years of Dayton. This workshop is supported by the Open Research Area 7 project, Inclusive Peace: Citizen Inclusion in Power-Sharing Settlement.
